Imbolc, or Oimealg marks the midpoint of the dark half of the year. The fire that Brigid first kindled at Yule burns bright in the swollen bellies of pregnant herd animals and rivers of milk begin to flow in swollen teats and udders. Agricultural tools are consecrated for the year ahead, household fires are put out and relit, and the fires of the smithy are blessed by a woman acting on Brigid's behalf.
Brigid's crosses are woven of wheat and given as protective charms for the home. Brigid's snake emerges from the womb of the Earth Mother to test the weather.

Special cakes are baked for the occasion, and a feast and a dance are held for all. The older women of the community gather "bride's beds", or cradles for the corn dollies to sleep in, and magic wands for the dolls to hold. The morning after the feast, everyone examines the ashes of the hearth to see if a magic wand has left marks. If so, it is a good omen for the following year.

This Criminal Openly Admits To The Plantation Of Illegal Immigrants aka Criminals

This Government Must Go

these were put in the doors of the area..

Folks anyone heading to finglas tonight, KEEP your cool. Remember this is a growing movement of ALL éiReannaigh on this island of éiRe, bringing us all together. IT is to show that our people, have had ENOUGH of being in DANGER and are NOT divided but can show a force when needed. And its main goal is for the PROTECTION of our women and children on this island and all things we value, it is NOT about politics ...But for an incident that never should have had an opportunity to happen. If people kicked off, you can be guaranteed it will put ALL the work put in so by EVERYONE far back to the start... and it is what they want, complete anarchy.. But we are better than that people, for we are the people of éiRe.

Anyone going to protests be vigilant.
